Anthony Witrado of Bleacher Report wrote in a column "Pedro Martinez, the greatest pitcher ever. Not liking him is fine. Not every player in his era did. But denying his dominance at the height of one of the best offensive eras in the game's history is unjustified."

An article on NESN even reported rapper Lil Wayne tweeting "Kongrats to Pedro Martinez for making the Hall,deservingly. My favorite pitcher and baseball player of all time. Impressive. Red Sox Nation."

Let's hope the "K" is a reference to Martinez's impressive number of career strikeouts.
